Special Announcement - May 15th, 2019
It is my pleasure to inform you that I was elected to the position of President of the Santa Clara County Estate Planning Council and have been awarded the Accredited Estate Planner® (AEP®) designation.
The Santa Clara County Estate Planning Council (founded in 1952) is a networking and continuing education organization for members of the various professions involved in estate planning, including attorneys, accountants, trust officers, private professional fiduciaries, financial planners and life underwriters.
The AEP® designation is a graduate level specialization in estate planning awarded in addition to professional credentials already recognized within the various disciplines of estate planning. It is awarded by the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC) to recognize estate planning professionals who meet stringent requirements of experience, knowledge, education, professional reputation, and character. AEP® designees must embrace the team concept of estate planning and adhere to the NAEPC Code of Ethics. Active designation holders must also maintain membership in a NAEPC affiliated local estate planning council if such membership is available.
